edit data

Rory Surtain stepped into the world of independent publishing in 2020 and hasn't been able to find his way out since. When he tires of writing, he edits, and when he tires of that, he publishes. Writing is an art and a long learned skill where each book is better than the last.

Surtain resides in Texas, enjoying the gulf coast clouds, the people, and the diversity of spirits and great cuisine.

As with any indie author, your kind participation and candid reviews are always appreciated.
